School song

verse 1:
Let us raise our voice in chorus,
Singing praise to our loved School,
Where Our Lady watches o'er us
Pleased that we accept her rule.

verse 2:
Future harvests spread before us;
Hence our urge of deepest yearning,
On our work our minds we focus,
As we grow in grace and learning.

verse 3:
We will make our own the spirit
Of this School we love and cherish.
Peace and joy we here inherit,
Learning thus to be unselfish.

verse 4:
Let us raise aloft our banner,
Emblem of a noble goal,
Testifying to the grandeur
Of a pure unsullied soul.

verse 5:
O good mother of our Jesus,
Be our guide to strong endeavour!
"Help of Christians" is your title;
Hence our trust in your good favour!

verse 6:
When perchance hard times beset us,
We'll confide all to Our Lady,
Heart to heart with mind recalling
Clearly the ideals she sets us.
